WILLIAM OLIVER DALY AND LOUIS LERIO, OF MOBILE, ALABAMA.

PAN-MAKING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 12, 1912.

Application filed May 13, 1912. Serial No. 696,884.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILIEAM O. DALY and LoUIs LERIO, citizens of the United States, and residents of Mobile, in the county of Mobile and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pan-Making Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement in pan making machines and has for an object, among others, to provide a machine which can be operated by man power and thus be adapted for use by the consumer of the pans so that he can make pans as-desired from sheets of metal; and the, invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side view, partly in section, of a machine embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on about line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section drawn through the presser block and the side plates with the presser block in lowered position. Fig. 4 is a detail enlarged section showing the hinge connection between one of the side plates and the bed of the machine. Fig. 5 is front elevation of the machine, partly broken away. Fig. 6 is a sectional vie-w illustrating the operation of the machine. Fig. 7 is a cross sectional view drawn through the pan, after the presser block has been lowered and before the sides have been closed. Fig. 8 is a detail perspective view of the completed pan. Fig. 9 is a top plan view of one end of the pan, part-1y broken away, illustrating one step in the operation of making, the pan. Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 9 illustrating a further step in the production of the completed pan. Fig. 11 is a similar view to Fig. 9 showing the completed pan.

In carrying out the invention, we employ a bed A which may be elevated on legs B as shown and on this bed A, we mount what for convenience of reference we call the fixed block C and opposite this block and suitably spaced therefrom is arranged a block D slidable on guides D toward and from the block C. To operate this block D, we provide a lever D which is pivoted at D and is connected by a pitman D with the block D so the lever D may be operated to move the block D toward and from the block 0 its straight line. D which may be dropped into a socket at D in the operation of the invention. There may be sufficient lost motion between parts D and D to permit the latter to move in This lever D has a pin to hold the block D in what, for convenience of reference, we term its closed position, that is to say, its position nearest to the block C. The block D is movable so that when the pan is formed, in the operation presently side plates E, one at each side of the space between the blocks C and D and these plates E are hinged at their lower ends at E to the bed A and are provided at their upper ends with handles E so that an operator standing at one side of the machine may grasp one handle E with one hand and the other handle E with the other hand and by pulling on one handle and pushing on the other, he can open and close the sideplates or adjust the same to the positions shown in full lines and indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, the dotted lines indicating the closed position of the side plates.

At one side of the die formed by the abutments G and D' and the side plates,-is provided an upright F mounted on the bed A and having upwardly projecting pins F, which cooperate with a pin G on the abutment C in properly alining the tin plate or blank over the die as will be understood from the dotted lines in Fig. 2, the dotted lines in said Fig. 2 indicating the sheet G of tin or other sheet metal from which the pan is to be made, the sheet G being shown in full lines in Fig. 1 and indicated at G in dotted lines in Fig. 2. An overhanging frame I-I mounted on the bed A is provided with vertical guides II in which the presser block or former I is held to slide vertically, the said former I being directly above the die formed by the parts C, D and E as before described. The former or presser adjust or elevate the former I after pressure on the treadle J is released.

In operation, when the blocks or abutments C, D are adjusted as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, and the side plates E are lowered to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1, a plate G may be placed as shown in Figs. 1 and 5 and as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2 to position where it will rest upon the blocks C and D and the upright F and against the pins C and F. If now, before the side plates E are raised to closed position, the former block I be pressed downwardly by the operation of the treadle J, the tin plate will be forced downwardly between the blocks C and D and into the form shown in Figs. 7 and 9. Then by closing the side plates E, the side portions of the pan will be pressed upwardly to the position shown in Fig. 10 and at the right in Fig. 2, leaving the pan with the projecting wings at its ends as shown in Fig. 10. If now, the side plates E be lowered to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1 and the block D be adjusted back to the dotted line position shown in Fig. 2, the pan will be entirely released and in its incomplete form may be removed from the machine. Then if the block D be moved back to its closed position as shown in full lines in Fig. 2 and the side plates be raised to the dotted line position shown in Fig. l and the pan in its incomplete form with its wings M projecting as shown in Fig. 10, be placed upon the blocks 0 and D and the wings E and the plunger or former I be forced downwardly, the wings M, as the incomplete pan is pressed downwardly, will be folded against the end of the pan, as shown at M in Figs. 8 and 11, thus completing the pan as desired.

It will be noticed that the inner or adj acent faces of the abutments C and D slope or flare outwardly toward their upper ends, this being shown in Fig. 5 and that the side plates E, when closed, flare outwardly toward their upper ends as best shown in Figs. 3 and 6 of the drawings.

The present invention is especially designed for use in the production of pans for collecting turpentine by turpentine operators.

We claim:

1. A machine, substantially as herein described, comprising a bed, a fixed block forming an abutment thereon, a sliding block opposite the fixed block and movable toward and from the same, means for so moving the sliding block, side plates hinged at their lower ends and provided at their upper ends with handles whereby the side plates may be opened and closed relatively to the blocks, an overhanging frame having vertical guides, a former block having means movable in said guides, the said block being alined with the die formed by the blocks and side plates, a treadle and cooperating devices for depressing the block and means for readjusting the block, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination in a machine substantially as described, of a bed, a fixed block forming an abutment thereon, a block opposite the fixed block and slidable toward and from the same, a hand operated device for actuating said movable block, side plates hinged at their lower edges and operating on opposite sides of the line of movement of the said movable block and extending between said block and the fixed block, the said side plates having handle portions whereby they may be operated by hand, a former block cooperating with the said blocks and side plates and means for operating the former block substantially as set forth.
